5 World Game Songs for Absolute Beginners to Play on Tongue Drum and Handpan

You can play these songs on any tongue drum with 8 or more notes. The melodies contained within this book are simplified specifically for a one-octave diatonic tongue drum.

Each circle on the sheet corresponds to a note number that shows a distinct key on your handpan or tongue drum. Simply follow the numbers to play the melody. Please note, however, that these circles do not indicate semitones, note duration, or rhythmic patterns.

No prior musical education or the ability to read traditional sheet music is required; you can begin playing immediately.

Certain pages also include QR codes that link to songs. While these examples do not represent our simplified melodies and are not performed on a drum, they will help you understand the melodies and rhythm.
